School is Not Closed

Despite my certainty that the university would be closed today because of snow, I was surprised to come over the hill I cross on my way to campus to the sounds of yelling at 7:30 am. Apparently, the students had gotten the word and decided that the best way to spend their day off was to throw snowballs at each other and at passing cars. The field normally reserved for frisbee was covered in snow and gleeful college students. I imagine when I walk back later today there will be an array of snowmen watching me as I tromp back up the hill.
